Richard, and others,
Many of you (I hope) know that Tennessee Ornithological Society has a
small amount of money avaialable for conservation issues. As the
chair of the TOS Conservation & Research Funding Committee, I would
like to direct you to the portion of the TOS web page that describes
how to apply for funding. While the amount may not be very big,
every bit helps in a project like this, and the application process
is not too difficult.
